Chapter 867: Be Careful



[Aisha Ashcroft's POV]

Aisha sighed, rubbing her temples as she looked at the endless stack of paperwork. Despite the exhaustion settling into her bones, a small smile tugged at her lips-this was her husband's kingdom, and she wouldn't trade it for anything.

Sitting in her new mansion in Dragonheart City, the kingdom's newly constructed capital, she was going through some paperwork. 'The workers had done a good job on Dragonheart; now they've moved on to Archer's palace. The other cities should come next,' Aisha mused with a smile.

While sitting there, the dragonkin woman started thinking about Archer, who was next door. He was nearly dead due to some unknown poison that the Swarm had used on him. But thanks to Lucrezia's magic, he could hang on to life until the girls returned.

She realized that the blonde had been taking good care of him. As Aisha thought, the door burst open, and Meera rushed in, looking flustered. The tiger woman was about to speak, but an alarm started blaring.

'What's happening now? Are we getting attacked?' She thought.

It rang throughout the city, telling citizens to head for the bunkers the Draconian Government built months ago when Archer suggested such a building, which would be created deep under the earth and offer the people a haven.

Aisha was shocked at the cost of an astronomical amount of gold; this shocked her and the other government ministers when the king paid for it himself. Following that, she rushed out of the mansion and ran into a group of Dragon Legionnaires marching East.

When the commander spotted her, he saluted before informing her, "The Church of Light and Novgorod Navy is heading for the Eastern seawall. We've been ordered to reinforce the wall in case they breach it."

Aisha nodded as Lucrezia walked out and looked in the distance, "They have a Titan."

When the redhead heard this, her blood ran cold. "How do you know this, Luce?" she asked.

"I can sense its strength, which is close to mine, but I'm still stronger," the blonde answered as her blood-red eyes glowed. "I will deal with it while the navy and wall defend the kingdom's shores."

"Okay," she answered quickly. "Let's head to the Eastern seawall."'

Lucrezia remained silent but seized her arm, and together, they ascended into the air before flying east. Aisha's mind raced with questions. 'Why are they attacking us now? Is it because Archer is injured? But how did they know?'

She concluded that it was because Archer was down, but what confused her was how they knew. According to Hecate, Talila, and Hemera, only the Swarm knew he was injured, which caused her to speak, "Luce, what if the central continent is working with the invaders?"

Lucrezia stopped flying and looked at her, "If that's true, then things are bad. The Swarm is the force behind the Terravains, and those beings are strange. Many of the Under Empirs have been fighting them for years," she revealed before flying again.

They made it to the Eastern seawall, where the Homeguard was manning the wall while the Dragonfire Company fired the Shadowbane and Titan Wrath Cannons, which boomed like thunder.

Aisha witnessed a barrage of mana shells hurtling over the turbulent sea. They collided with a resilient green shield, drawing her attention. Lucrezia's gaze sharpened, fixating on something beneath the water's surface near the Draconian fleet.

"The Titan is heading for the ships," Lucrezia stated grimly. "I will kill the monster, but have the wall bombard the incoming fleet."

"Be careful, Luce," she said to the mosasaur woman.

nearby beach.

Lucrezia spun around just as the Blood Devil breached the surface behind her. Suddenly, a

shocking turn of events unfolded as a powerful spirit spell struck it. The Blood Devil yelped in

pain as the impact tore apart one of its flippers.

Suddenly, a stunning woman materialized, her long white hair flowing around her, but the blindfold captured Lucrezia's attention. The newcomer disappeared and reappeared before the Blood Devil, which attempted to dive away.

With a wave, the woman stopped the Titan from fleeing. She smiled and began casting a dozen Spirit Bombs at it. Lucrezia's eyes widened in astonishment as she watched the formidable Titan disintegrate as though it were nothing.

The woman swiftly dismantled the Blood Devil before gently setting it down on the beach as she descended. Lucrezia observed the display in awe, but what followed left her stunned: the woman bowed before her.

"My Queen, I apologize for my tardiness. The Fireheart Faith demands much of my attention, and by the time I heard the sirens, you were already in battle. Please forgive me," the woman

said humbly.

Lucrezia was bewildered. "This woman is a Pseudo-God, like Brooke. Why is she bowing to

me?"

Looking in disbelief, she asked, "Who are you?"

The woman smiled warmly before introducing herself, "I am Agrippina, leader of the Fireheart Faith and Archer's bonded Elemental."

Her eyes widened in realization. "You're bonded with him?"

Agrippina nodded solemnly. "Yes, my Queen. It happened not long ago, but my duties have

kept me from seeing him," she said. "Now let me deal with these pests."

"Okay," she said while stepping back as Agrippina started chanting.

The air around her started to change as the older woman raised her hand at the biggest enemy

ship and spoke, "Spirit Beam."

Lucrezia witnessed a beautiful purple beam fly out of her hand and hit the green shield defending the vessel, but soon, it shattered into nothing. Agrippina did the same to all the ships, allowing every Draconian cannon to target the enemy.

Just as that happened, a wave of mana shells flew out from the island and surrounding fleets that fell upon the Chuch of Light and Novgorodian ships, causing a firestorm to erupt.
